4:01 am
>> breaking overnight, border whiplash. an appeals court blocks the controversial texas immigration law that the supreme court had just given the green light to take effect. >> so this morning, no republican is running against donald trump anymore, but notable number of republicans are still voting against him in primaries including overnight so what's the message here? >> a >> stunning allegations surrounding the royal family, a hospital worker is accused of trying to breach the private medical record because of the princess of wales. sarah is out today. i'm john berman with kate baldwin cnn news central starts now >> while you were sleeping, things got how do even more confusing and texas? this is all about the state's controversial new immigration law that would allow state law enforcement to arrest and
4:02 am
deport people suspected of entering the country illegally. and it's now the subject of dramatic back-and-forth with the supreme court overnight here's where things stand right now. the law is on hold. once again. here is how we got there. the conservative majority of the us supreme court had cleared the way for the law. and it's known as senate bill four, sb4 to take effect. >> while >> the legal battle was playing out, making its way through the court system. but then just hours later appeals court said, hold on. once again, pausing these new law enforcement measures as they consider whether or not the law violates the constitution. critics say that sb4 at its core, what this gets down to critics say that it violates human rights stokes racial profiling, and overreaches government authority. the texas governor though says it is necessary to slow the crisis at his border seen as flores is an arizona following all of this for us this morning, rosa, there are a lot of moving parts. you have been following the path of sb4
4:03 am
from the beginning and a dramatic turn current overnight. where does things stand and where did things go >> well, you were talking about the whiplash. here's more there's a hearing in the fifth circuit today, which means that this law could be placed on hold again or it could be made to go into effect, which means we would go right back to, you the us supreme court. but here's the bottom line. the arguments from the biden administration is that there's a supremacy clause in the constitution and that immigration is a federal function, and that it should stay that way. now, the state of texas disagrees with that, says that it has constitutional authority to enforce this law and that it has the right to defend itself from a quote, invasion, which is the argument that has been rejected by the lower courts. >> but >> look, no one has been whiplash two more than anything by what is going on in the courts right now, then local
4:04 am
governments and county governments. and here's why it's because of how this law was britain, this law doesn't just say that it's a crime to enter the state of texas illegally. it also says that the illegal presence of a person in the state of texas is also a crime. and what does that even mean? how do police officers and deputies out on the street, even know what to do or what's probable cause be an illegal presence in the state. that's why sheriff's offices from across the state. and police departments from across the state are pushing back the austin police department is a good example. they took to x to say the following quote at this point, the austin police department anticipates that it will be unlikely that it's officers will have cause to make warrantless arrests under sb4. again, cueing to that uncertainty. now, county governments are very concerned because this crime would be adjudicated in county courts. and the texas conference of urban counties, which represents democratic and
4:05 am
republican counties across the state, has been sounding the alarm about this because they say it's going to clog the jails and it's going to clog courts. now, this organization says that there's about 6,000, 7,000 county jail beds in the entire state of texas. and then if this law were to go into effect, kate, those j0 beds would be filled up in days and we've been monitoring, of course, the number of migrant crossings through the state of texas and they're very high in the past three fiscal years, it's been more than 1 million crossings. just do this state of texas. so imagine that if the state of texas does start enforcing this law, where are they going to put all these people? how are they going to adjudicate this case is where are they going to get the judges? were they going to get the prosecutors to enforce the law? it's very complicated and that's why counties and local governments are very concerned about this rosa flores tracking it all for us. thank you so much. and what we see overnight is how quickly it can change,
4:06 am
which is all that preparation or lack thereof, it could be in stark really vary. >> so this law was not in effect that it was in effect for a few hours. now, what's not in effect, but it might soon be in effect again, >> good summary. thank you very much. oh what happens now seen in senior supreme court analyst joan biskupic is with so clear up what the path forward is joe >> okay. first of all, i just want for our audience let them know just how condensed this timetable has been and how condensed it will be today. it was around 02:00 p.m. eastern time that the supreme court first gave the green light to this law and as you say, it was shortly before midnight that things things reverse course. we have a hearing going on. if the fifth circuit court of appeals around 11:10 a.m. central time 11:00 eastern time. but then it could come back up here let me just say what the heat that was produced at the supreme court yesterday
4:07 am
afternoon and that can come back to this and how it could be re-ignited at the supreme court. the majority when it let this law to take effect did not explain its reasoning two of the justices broke off and referred to the procedural posture here, and i'm going to get to that, but first i think it's important to hear what the three liberal dissenters said and how much they thought it was wrong to let this law take effect, given how much turmoil is going on at the border. and they said that the chaos of the federal courts were creating, we're adding to that and our first latina justice sonia sotomayor said something that was joined by justice ketanji brown, jackson. she said the court invites further chaos and crisis in an immigration enforcement texas up ends the federal-state balance of power that has existed for over a century in which the national government has had exclusive authority over entry and removal of
4:08 am
noncitizens. this is the key part. this is what this all comes down to, is who's responsible and for age she does, of course, it has been the domain of the federal government but as i mentioned, john, i wanted to just refer briefly to the little word we did get from two of the justices in the conservative dominated majority yesterday, justices amy coney barrett and brett kavanaugh referred to the unusual procedural posture that this case was in. and just as they wrote i think it unwise to invite emergency litigation in this court about whether a court of appeals abused its discretion at this preliminary step that essentially john was a signal to the fifth circuit to go back and do something more formal to add actually review whether this state law, if it took effect, would actually bring more harm to the challengers, the biden administration, and immigrant immigrant rights groups, or more harm to texas. so what we
4:09 am
had at the action around midnight tonight was just it's still preliminary. and after for today's hearing, we will have a more formal order presumably, that says whether this law should take effect while appeals on the merits of it play out. but they'll still be several steps and likely back up to the supreme court where the losing party would go so as i said, the chaos at the border is been matched in part by turmoil in the federal courts. john, again, as of this moment, the law is in effect, joan biskupic, thanks so much for being with us. appreciate >> the former president trump says rejecting his sweeping immunity claim would be the end of the presidency. as we know it. so what will the supreme court's speaking of make of his argument for absolute immunity now, new reports this morning of a possible privacy breach of princess kate's medical records at the hospital where she was treated in january and with it a new warning from the uk health minister today and it could be

4:15 am
against the federal elections russian subversion case, trump's team really claiming that a denial of immunity for him could fundamentally impact the office of the presidency, saying, in the filing saying, every future president will be forced to grapple with the prospect of the prospect of possibly being criminally prosecuted after leaving office every time he or she makes a politically controversial decision, cnn's kaitlan pull on. she's following all of this in kaitlan. walk us through what they're trying to argue and what this means in this new filing. >> okay. donald trump's team wants the supreme court to dismiss the charges against him in washington, dc, that federal case related to what he did at the end of the presidency before january 6 and the 2020 election, what they're doing in their filing to the supreme court. this brief that lays out the argument you meant that trump's team is making to the supreme court is likely to argue to them in person as well. >> is
4:16 am
>> that there is a massive fear that the justices should have about how this could destroy the presidency if someone who served in the presidency can be charged with a crime when they were in office so this doom and gloom fearful scenario that they're painting starts by saying that this would hurt the presidency because it would make president's fearful whenever they are in office, they write, once our nation crosses this rubicon, meaning a president, charged, convicted, potentially every future president will face de blackmail and extortion while in office and will be harassed by politically-motivated prosecution after leaving office. over his most sensitive and controversial decisions that bleak scenario would result in a week and hollow president and would thus be ruinous. for the american political system as a whole. one of the ways that they are appealing to the justices here is they cite brett kavanaugh a
4:17 am
law review article that, that justice wrote 15 years ago saying it would be a worse, it would be a situation where the president will do a worse job if he could be prosecuted all of this taken together is a hope where the trump team has to appeal to the justices to dismiss that case. but if they're not willing to do it on the grounds that trump or a president should be absolutely protected, an immune from any criminal prosecution. they say you could just add in more time to the case, send it back to the lower courts, have more fact-finding to see if there is some sort of immunity idea that could come up through the court system. is there something more that could be done that of option would ultimately result in delay >> ultimately has been part of the plan, at least part of this strategy here it's good to see you, kaelyn, thank you so much the reporting john, are with us now, defense attorney and former federal prosecutor, shan
4:18 am
shan, i liked the way the york times frame this this morning. let me just read you this quote, legal experts that mr. trump was unlikely to prevail, but added that how and when the court rejects his arguments will effectively determine whether and when mr. trump's trial, which have been scheduled to start march 4, bullet proceed. i get the win. we understand that depending on how the supreme court rules and when they rule, the trial could be delayed. but what about the how how they rule after these aid? april arguments? what does that mean >> well, i think what it means is on the face of it, the main argument that they're pushing, which caitlin is just analyzing their >> that's like >> really one of the worst arguments that i've ever heard. and it's really embarrassing that it's at the court. it's so far off base and the left field that if that was the only proposition they put forth likely to be sb a quick slam dunk against them. but the potential off-ramp for the supreme court would be to
4:19 am
send it back as caitlin was saying, for some further factual development by the trial court sport that aspect of the how would definitely result in further delay. and what's dangerous about that for the prosecution, good for trump, is that it's the kind of off-ramp that the supreme court would traditionally like, which is they can avoid put off such a major decision and do it more piecemeal and have further factual development on it. and that could be very appealing to them. >> facts about what does it have to do with this? because when the supreme court said it was going to hear arguments on this, their ruling said, quote, they were gonna determine whether and if so, to what extent does a former for president enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office. now, the ward official, there to me is the key word because if trying to overturn the results of the election was an official act, i
4:20 am
mean, i guess then you could argue this presidential immunity, but how is trying to overturn the results in an election on official act? >> yeah, that's a great question, john, because i think that's really the rub here, really to me, this notion of the official acts and immunity that's more of a trial defense to me. that's the sort of thing you'd put up to say, hey, i didn't do anything wrong, right? we hear trump saying that all the time it was supposed to do >> but in >> order to help him, they need to push it into a threshold question, which is more of the traditional immunity. you can even try me for this. i don't have to put on this defense so the fact-finding that could be involved would be exactly to that question. they framed, which is he is saying some of these were what official acts i'm supposed to oversee some aspect of the election which i think is wrong. but he's been saying that that's what they might ask for further fact-finding about to determine
4:21 am
are some of his actions within this perimeter of being official or not. >> we will see are i can woo great to speak with this morning. thank you very much. >> good >> blockbuster reports in the british tabloids, a london hospital staff are accused of trying to breach the private medical records of the princess of wales. they've now launched an mastication and come on, who is happier than we are apparently, a lot of people like a lot for the first time the united states did not make the cut for the top 20 happiest countries in the world. i got to say that makes me really unhappy sanity >> needs to save space you've had a show were right and left talk to each other cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real time with bill maher, saturday at eight on cnn houston.

4:27 am
treatment. and this is given as a one treatment, a one and done so to speak. but as for why it's so expensive, orchard therapeutics says in a statement that it set the price tag at that number because it is quotes reflective of the value that therapy may deliver to eligible patients and their families, as well as the potential long-term impact treatment may have on overall health care. or utilization, minimization of productivity loss for caregivers and life opportunities for patients. but the number john is striking. i will say there are other expensive drugs out there that are taken more than once and over time, they may add up to more than $4 million. and there are drugs and that million dollar price range, there's a blood disorder drug that costs about $3.5 million a muscular dystrophy treatment that costs about $3.2 million. but $4 million 0.25. john, that's definitely up there when we
4:28 am
look at drug price tags i mean, it gets to the question of how you value a life and then how these companies go about making and producing these drugs what does it do exactly the drug when melody, it's a onetime infusion and it's based on the patient's own stem cells. those stem cells are genetically modified and then they're transplanted back into the patient as a therapy and mld as it disease itself. like i said, it is rare, it affects about one thousand people here in, the united states. but having an approved gene therapy like lenmeldy has definitely a game changer for these patients. if they can afford it, john. >> all right. jacqueline howard. thank you so much for this report. >> walked again, a controversial law that allows texas to arrest migrants and deport them, arrest migrants to cross the border, are suspected of crossing the border illegally >> that >> now on hold again, why one sheriff says he would not

4:36 am
>> or are we moving? moving on, breaking overnight an investigation is underway in the uk after reports that a london hospital staff member allegedly tried to access princess kate medical records now the uk health minister has said just hours ago that staffers could face prosecution if they accessed her records without permission. now, the princess of wales, we know back in january had abdominal surgery at the london clinic. she hadn't resume. she hasn't resumed duties since triggering, as we have been covering hey wide ranging speculation and rumors about how she is doing and what she was doing. but let's talk about this latest twist. cnn's max foster is joining us now with more on this max, what is the latest that you're learning about this possible breach? >> well, it's pretty shocking when the princess was in hospital, the london clinic in january for that abdominal surgery, members of staff allegedly tried to access her medical records. these are
4:37 am
obviously members of staff. it shouldn't have had access to it different medical staff at different levels of access and the people with access wasn't appropriate, have been trying to get into her medical records or we can read into why that might be, but we'll have to wait for the investigation. but daily mirror that undercover this story uncovered the story said an investigation has been launched internally. obviously, in this country, very tight laws on data privacy, and we've had a confirmed from the information commissioner that is the watchdog for this >> they >> are investigating it. so i'll wait to hear what happens from that as well. also hearing from the health minister in the uk, just describing what a serious type of breach this would be so these rules apply to all patients. so there are very strict rules about which patient notes you can access. you're only allowed to access the patient notes. you're caring for with their permission. and there's really strict rules information commissioner would take enforcement action against
4:38 am
trusts or primary care practices, but also as individual practitioners so regulatory body. so for me, it would be the nmc would take action as well. so it's pretty severe >> she also said that she's asked the police to investigate because they really the ones obviously to prosecute the met police. meanwhile, telling us that the case hasn't been referred to them. so early stages of the story, but being taken very seriously. >> yeah, max, if i can turn our focus for another moment on another royal prince harry, this kind of years lawsuit brought by prince harry against a publisher of a british tabloid. there's a hearing going on what is happening with this? what are you hearing >> well, it's basically another stage in another one of his battles in this war really against the british tabloid. so a lot of administration really today, but his lawyers will be appearing there. and whenever they do, they provide i some
4:39 am
evidence from him which always creates some shock waves and some insights into life for harry, in the uk and his battle for privacy. what you've got to remember is that both prince william and prince harry are huge on privacy and it goes back to their childhood and the privacy that was invaded of their mothers of course, they've both got really tough lines on this and we're seeing that the way that's playing out in two different ways. harry, through the courts and prince william, just the sheer protection of his wife and her medical privacy. and we've seen that really blow up, haven't we? and in that gap of information the conspiracy theories >> absolutely. and a lot of speculation >> great to >> see you, max, thank you for keeping on top of all of it, john. >> all right. breaking overnight the controversial texas immigration law will not go into effect. the law would have allowed texas officials, texas officials to arrest and deport people suspected of entering the us illegally. >> in the >> middle of the night and appeals court blocked it after
4:40 am
the supreme court cleared the way for it to take effect, the back-and-forth was all based on procedural matters. ultimately, the appeals court will hear arguments on the merits. i'm joined now by sheriff brian hawthorn of chambers county, texas sheriff. thanks so much for being with us. >> the law was off. it was on now it's off again. what's that been like for the last 24 hours >> well, for texas sheriff's, it's really not going to change our policy because obviously we want to make sure that law is clear cut and everything that governor abbott intended it to be so most of us will not be changing our policy until whether it's the fifth circuit or supreme court, whoever settles and decides on what they're actually going to do is this a law that would be easy for you to enforce >> well, it would be extremely easy for the border sheriff's, but if you're an end unshare, if i'm on the east side of houston. so if you're an
4:41 am
inland sheriff most of us we won't change our policy because we don't want our deputies making arrests unless somebody has actually committed a crime and let which we would have intervened or arrested them for none of us want to do as a sheriff, we don't want to be arresting and doing the border patrol's job. the border patrol needs to be doing their job and then i need to be doing my job of protecting the chamber's county citizens from violent crime and property crimes >> so i wonder what that means if this law does go into effect because again, that's a hypothetical. now, the law is not in effect. it may never go into effect. but >> if it does, does that mean you won't instruct your deputies to enforce it >> so most of us that are inland, the way the bill is written, it's really targeted for your border sheriffs it could be applied inland but i

think most of us will find that we won't change our policy and that we will not be enforcing the immigration side of it unless we actually make a criminal arrest and then it has discovered that they are an illegal immigrant. after they have been arrested for some other crime in the penal code >> and just what do you think of this whole process at this point? are you just standing by to standby? >> we are standing by to standby. i mean, i think most of us, you and i were smart and know this is a lot of political wrangling going on right now and that there is no question about it. there is a disaster at the border don't make any mistake about that. i've been to the border number of times myself. i'm the legislative director for the sheriff's the of texas. and this is something we've been dealing with ever since this new administration took came on board. and when the policies of the border patrol changed we started seeing the mass influx of immigration as you all have

4:48 am
>> this morning, the s&p has never been higher. i know the feeling federal reserve officials are meeting to decide if there will be any cuts to the federal interest rate. the decision has a significant effect on the cost of borrowing everything for mortgage rates to loans and credit card interest rates as well. cnn's matt egan is here. this is a big meeting what do we expect will happen or what do we expect will be discussed, i suppose is bigger. well, >> john, listen, the fed has been in a holding pattern that is likely not changing today. if you are hoping for some sort of a break on mortgage rates, credit card, debt car loans. you're likely going to have to wait a little bit longer because let's look at what the market is pricing in almost no chance of an interest rate cut at today's meeting very low chance in may, it's really not until june or july that investors are starting to price in rate cuts that we should get some more clarity today. jerome powell, he could drop some hints. also, we're going to get those projections known as the dot plot showing where a fed officials think rates are going boeing, their big
4:49 am
question here is, are fed officials still penciling in three rate cuts or have they scaled back those expectations because of hotter than expected inflation. and i spoke to jan hatzius, top economists over goldman sachs. he was early to call for a soft landing. and despite some disappointing inflation numbers, he's standing by that call. take a listen. >> if i look out the news flow overall over the last year, it's still very, very positive. inflation has come down very substantially over that period. and more importantly, it's come down without significant weakness and activity. we haven't seen a recession, we haven't been close to her recession. the labor market is still quite strong. employment has continued to increase at a, at a rapid clip so i think the overall news over the last 12 months has been extremely positive >> now, no sign of inflation now loosened of a recession
4:50 am
despite these rapid interest rate hikes from the fed, that is music to the ears of officials in the white house, because all five sitting president who had a recession in the year that they were up for reelection. >> all five of >> them lost reelection. most recently, donald trump. >> so it's not so much, if that goes down today, it's how they talk about what will happen down the line that people are watching very closely, how to gas prices impact that? well, johnson >> disappointing news on the gas price front over 350. again, alan, for the first time since the late october 3, 50 two's the new national average up from just 349 yesterday, 328 a month ago. now, some of this is totally normal and seasonal. winter is over. thankfully, spring people drive more often. some of it though, is actually also being fueled by war specifically drone attacks deep inside of russia on oil refineries that has helped lift oil prices above $80 about now i think the good news here is experts. they don't think $4 a
4:51 am
gallon is in the cards, let alone the $5 that we saw two years ago. i think the bad news is the higher gas prices ago, the worst inflation is going going to look, inflation has gone up. it's been worse than expected recently. you can see big improvement, massive improvement from two years ago, but that progress has sort of leveled out recently, and that's largely because of gas prices. so we need to pay very close attention what happens next? because there's big implications both economically and politically many great to see you this morning. thank you very much >> victory for donald trump this morning in the form of a senate race. cnn projects the candidate he endorsed. will win ohio's republican senate primary. bernie moreno, one more than 50% of the vote. and what was a three-way race? >> and it was seen >> going into this and talked about quite a bit as a test for trump's pull for some prompts power since republicans, since many other republicans had endorsed a different candidate now moreno will challenge the
4:52 am
incumbent democratic senator sherrod brown in november this race is one of a handful seen as key to deciding the balance of power in the senate. let's talk about this and all of the implications of it joining us right now is a former republican governor was content, former republican presidential candidates scott walker. it's good to see you, governor, thanks for coming in. so this senate race, the senate primary considered a big test for trump, the trump back candidate wins. what does it say about how trump did on this test and what does it say for the party >> well a big one for marine, obviously, a private businessman, someone who's been in the community for some time versus a career politician and center brown, somebody who was first elected office 50 years ago, coming up this year, and he's been in washington seen for the past 30 years. so i think it's a great contrast. you compare that two years ago when jd vance won the primary, again supported by president trump, and went on to victory. obviously, it's going to take more than just that shared brown. as i said, is a skilled
4:53 am
politician. he's been office for almost as long as his challengers been alive, at least since he was young kid. and so it's gonna be a stark contrast in ohio. but as you correctly noted, it has it's been a state that is increasingly going from competitive to a pretty solid republican area. >> and >> that'll be the truth testis november sherrod brown with deep roots in the community as well as he's been serving the community for all those years. do you think moreno is the weaker opponents to face sherrod brown? that is what democrats are banking on. >> well they are, but i think the contrast in year when people have had your last segment talked about the economy, it's not about what gdp or the stock monday's, it's about crisis, gas prices, food prices, mortgage prices to sam reason why someone like senator tammy brown ball been and wisconsin who has been in washington for quarters centuries, vulnerable to a businessman there every cup to use running in each of those cases there's a lot of voters who maybe traditionally haven't voted republican if
4:54 am
you haven't voted at all. >> but who are >> interested in outsider someone who is going to go to washington and shake it up i think that's what brian real or bernie moreno excuse me, brings to the table in ohio. much luck. like other candidates across the country. and that's going to be the contrast. lot of people i hear in washington saying, oh, a gdp is up on the stock market is doing better. but if you're in toledo or columbus, or east palestine, or for that matter in ohio, that matter you could be in appleton wisconsin if prices are up, you're concerned with the people on the office. and that's bad news for anyone companies. >> you're talking a lot about outside versus inside i'm noticing, do you think that contrast that political contrast because you can talk about being an insider, you can kinda in the eye of the beholder if you will, because once you get to washington, you'd all everyone tries to save that. there's still outsiders, but then by definition, by everyone on the outside they say you're an insider, so it's in the eye of the beholder. >> do you think that >> contrast is really what will win for people >> well, i think it plays well.
4:55 am
i mean, i mean, thinking about when there was a train derailment in east side of the state of ohio more than a year ago, donald trump and jd vance show up. they bring cleaning supplies, they tickets action. the phrase i remember at the time looking at in the local newspapers, was it kept repeating what trump had said to the crowds, which is you're not forgot, that was when joe biden was over in poland and ukraine, his transportation sector is nowhere to be filed. i think that's one of those great examples, not just in that community, but across the state i don't really across the country where people say, i feel like i've forgotten washington. i feel like there's a lot of group politicians who say all the right things to get elected, but don't deliver. and so candidates who can say i'm not like them, i think will go a long way this november 1 thing, speaking of november 1 thing that is also really interesting out of ohio, is it nikki haley got 14. i think it was 14 point 3% of the vote was the last way i looked at it in the republican presidential primary, even though the primary has over point being going further than that, about one in five voters voted
4:56 am
against donald trump in florida, illinois, and ohio, and about one-quarter voted against him in kansas. that's according to a washington post it's analysis of those primaries, the protest vote against trump seems to be living on well past nikki haley's candidacy. are you concerned does that concern you? what that means for donald trump in november no. >> because again, you're going to see some of that even coming up in wisconsin's primary, you saw a little bit in michigan where there was people voting to commit to joe biden because of the progressive radical left, because their concerns over what's happening in israel and gaza. >> i'm talking nikki haley's out of the race now, and voters are still voting for her >> yeah. but same way with the non commit to admit nobody thinks that joe biden's got a real opponent out there in the primary, but there's people going for non commit in the end in those same states, all the pose overwhelmingly show that dolan, trump's ahead of joe
4:57 am
biden. and in all the contested battleground states like mine and they show leads slight as they might be, and certainly not to be taken for granted. but i think people understand the real race and the end is going to be donald trump and joe biden. and if it's a referendum on high prices, if it's a referendum on border security, to referendum on public safety joe biden's allies are going to lose what is it a referendum on that, i guess will be the key question that we will not know for some time. governor walker, it's good to see you. thanks for coming in john. thank you. all right. we've learned that later this morning, the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, will address senate republicans via video at a closed-door lunch meeting. republicans have rallied around netanyahu after senate majority leader chuck schumer called him an obstacle to peace. and urged new elections in israel. cia, it's only for fani is on capitol hill this morning. what do you expect to see here sunday? >> yeah, john, this is such interesting timing. this addressed come by netanyahu up on capitol hill, virtually coming just one week after
4:58 am
senator schumer made that at massive floor speech criticizing netanyahu and his handling of threat of hamas calling for new elections in israel that angered many you've republicans up here on capitol hill, including senator barrasso. he is the republican that invited netanyahu to speak to the group of senate republicans. he's said about schumer's speech, quote, i think what senator schumer said on the floor was deeply offensive to so many americans who are concerned with what is happening in israel. now, notably, netanyahu, of course, will appear just virtually to this closed-door meeting of senate republicans. this is a luncheon that they have every week and they regularly hear from people. but of course his address coming at such a tense time, growing tension up here on capitol hill in the back-and-forth and in the wake of senator schumer's speech and suddenly there's still a shutdown looming or a possible shutdown looming >> if the
4:59 am
>> procedures that need to happen don't happen, what's the latest on all that? >> yeah, john, this is really like it always is on capitol hill, a race against the clock right now, there is a deal and it was announced earlier this week, yesterday but there is no finalized bill text that has been released in that is important because there is a rule that requires lawmakers to have 72 hours, three days to review the legislation. so they are racing against this midnight deadline on friday night that will have to navigate around and order to avoid a shutdown in this also comes amid some grumbling among the far-right wing of the party in the house, republicans. so speaker johnson is going to happen did navigate a lot, including of course, that massive clock and that deadline that they have to make on friday night, john. >> so i'm less are 40 always great to see you. thank you so much for your reporting. >> a >> brand new our of cnn news central starts now the end of
